[MS4W-Users] MS4W with ZOO WPS

[Jeff McKenna]

Hi Morten,

Thanks for joining the mailing list.

As the ZOO-Project package was created right before FOSS4G-Boston in 
August (and announced during the ZOO-Project workshop), a proper 
announcement was not done here for the MS4W users, so let's use this as 
the kick-off message.

As you mentioned, a ZOO-Project (http://www.zoo-project.org/) package is 
now available at http://ms4w.com/download.html  For other readers, 
adding ZOO-Project into MS4W now means that you have the powers of the 
Web Processing Service (WPS) standard available to you; allowing you to 
chain services in many different languages and tools, all done through a 
known standard; a good start is reading the Introduction at 
http://zoo-project.org/docs/intro.html  Once you extract the ZOO-Project 
package and restart Apache, your MS4W homepage will list some 
"ZOO-Project WPS Example Services" to play with.

Currently the ZOO-Project package for MS4W supports:

   - PHP 5.6 services, as PHP support was compiled into the ZOO-Kernel 
(read about PHP services at 
http://zoo-project.org/docs/services/howtos.html#php)

   - MapServer support, compiled into the ZOO-Kernel (read more about 
this cool support, such as automatic publishing of WMS/WFS/WCS results, 
at http://zoo-project.org/docs/kernel/mapserver.html

You will notice that many other services were not yet built into the 
ZOO-Kernel, such as the mono support that you mentioned; I have filed a 
ticket for that support (http://www.ms4w.com/trac/ticket/135).  If you 
search the MS4W tracker for "zoo" you will get a list of the following 
tickets:

  - Add all GDAL and OGR services to ZOO-Project build 
http://www.ms4w.com/trac/ticket/133
  - Add Python3 support to ZOO-Project kernel build 
http://www.ms4w.com/trac/ticket/128/trac/ticket/128
  - Add GDAL profile demo as part of ZOO-Project package 
http://www.ms4w.com/trac/ticket/136

Thanks for this early feedback, it's great to build momentum for MS4W + 
ZOO-Project!  I'll be tackling those tickets for the next MS4W release 
(I think that demo ticket will be important to help MS4W users see the 
powers of ZOO-Project WPS).
